Different cultures have different issues with their beauty standards.
Maybe in your culture it is against unibrows. Come to Asia and you will see how popular plastic surgeries and skin whitening creams are. BTW, fair skin fetish in the east is not new. It goes back hundreds or thousands of years, well before European colonization occured. It's so deep that the houries in Islam/Quran (gift that pious men get in heaven) are fair skinned.
- TFortunato 8y agoAbsolutely! And that's pretty interesting about the "fair skin fetish" in the east, I was unaware of it. I'm not trying to say that this is because of European colonization, or anything like that. I just think that people use colonization as an understandable metaphor when talking about art or culture, especially w.r.t how it is interpreted & distorted by other possibly more dominant/well-represented cultures.
